Taurus and Cancer is a great match, often with soulmate potential! This is the type of relationship which has the potential to make other couples jealous!
These scores show the averages for data collected from my clients over the past 20 years. It's important to note however that individual relationships vary enormously. This is a summarized picture, a real compatibility reading is needed to judge a real relationship. It's also worth noting that Soulmates can be found in any sun sign match, even those which are statistically likely to have low compatibility.
This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Taurus man or Taurus woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Cancer man or Cancer woman.
Cancer is a very loyal and affectionate partner, and one who will intuitively understand your needs and genuinely enjoy providing for them.
This is a partner who will support you emotionally, while providing an emotional depth to the relationship that you'll find fascinating, sexy and flattering.
This is a great match, with so many things in common. You both value the home and family, enjoy working towards financial security, appreciate stability in a partner, like a lot of affection, enjoy being nurtured, and are likely to both have a great appreciation for food and cooking.
If there's ever a competition for the "most comfortable home created by a sun sign match" - you're probably going to be in the top 3 without even trying! I can almost smell the homemade apple pie!
You are both family orientated, prefer staying home to socializing too much, enjoy quality while preferring to be thrifty to acquire it. You both tend to be very sentimental towards possessions, places, people and routines.
The negatives in this match are very minor: You both can be jealous and possessive but with each of you being so naturally loyal and affectionate this is very unlikely to ever manifest. You both can be stubborn sometimes and want to control a relationship, however in this match you're on the same page so often that it will be impossible to tell if anyone is really in control.
You're both affectionate and sensual lovers. Your erotic and considerate lovemaking style will be totally appreciated by this emotional and sensitive partner.
You both enjoy a lot of kissing and touching, and both appreciate the unconditional loyalty and caring offered by the other.
Overall this is likely to be a near perfect match for both of you - grab with both hands and don't let go!
It's important to note however that we're looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someone's personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.
To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.
This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information: everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments with them etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the compatibility readings page.
A very strong willed partner, Taurus know where they are going, and how they're getting there. As in so many other areas of the relationship you'll find their determination both comforting and inspiring.
This is a partner who will support and enjoy your emotional needs, while having the stability, patience and maturity to shrug off any moodiness which might deter a weaker or less considerate lover.

So is this article conclusive? No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level. To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account for each of you, with a real astrology reading...
